Strom continues on forecast track and remains a very intense tropical cyclone.
TC Freddy weakening as it approaches the island of Madacasgar.
Of note is that TC Freddy originated North of Western Australia and in the seas south of Indonesian Islands. The storm has travelled across the whole Indian Ocean and, depending on whether it reforms after crossing Madagascar, may make it to the coast of East Africa!
Latest as the cyclone travels over Madagascar. Could reform and intensify after exiting land and travel across Mozambique channel.
Thanks for the info
Storm as expected seriously weakened by transversing Madagascar but also as expected the remnants of the system are showing re intensification trend as the cyclone moves out across open water again.
After about a 5500 miles journey the remnants of Cyclone Freddy will cross the Southern African coast. A remarkable journey!
Well plebs, TC Freddy lives on . Currently just off the coast of Southern Africa and seems to be consolidating into a defined storm again. Insane that this storm formed in the sea between Australia and Indonesia and has been rumbling along ever since!
